I'd like the battle for 1st be as exciting as the rest of the field.

Yeah, but what are you going to do... Vettel is a great driver, with the best car, and so much confidence he's fearless. Hell, even that massive practice shunt couldn't slow him down. The man is already turning into Schumacher reborn... which must be tough for Schumacher who's struggling just to score points.

Off track drama time!

So, a week ago or so I read this

And then I just saw this:

Eric Lux is going to be filing a criminal complaint against Sutil.

Hah.

Sutil is a badass. Not only is he an F1 driver that plays concert piano and speaks like 7 languages... he'll also kick your ass. :cool:

The Lotus naming thing is all done! Or so it seems. Both sides claiming victory.

Team Lotus gets to continue to use the name Team Lotus.
Group Lotus gets to continue to use Group Lotus, as well as Lotus (with no modifiers).

It looks like Group Lotus won more, but not the part about forcing Team Lotus to change their name, so they are appealing.

So... yeah. That clears it all up.

Buemi overtaking a spectator

Someone didn't think their cunning stunt all the way through.

Carmageddon?

I assumed it was the next remake of Death Race.

Go Jenson you glorious bastard go. Such a good race.

It was probably better on tv. I think I have trench foot from the walk back to the Metro. :unamused:

We just watched the race tonight, it's hard avoiding results for two days. With the rain delay, our DVR didn't catch anything after the red flag. Luckily speed had it on replay this morning. Good race on TV, Jenson had an incredible run. Hope to see you when you get back Scott, I'd like to hear about the trip.

Wow... sounds like fun.

:huh:

I would think that they should do a "It wasn't me" and "Never going to give you up" mashup, but Linkin Park would just fuck it up.

I hear Austin TX got pushed back to November, and Turkey is off the calender for next year.

Time lapse of the Austin track construction from last July.

Furthermore, David Coulthard didn't let a silly thing like lack of pavement stop his enjoyment of the Circuit of the Americas.

That may be the most awesome hoonery in an F1 car ever.

Do the demo cars have extra ride-height adjustability and air filters for this sort of think? :lol:

I was thinking Full Wets would have done better in the dirt.

I kinda think the lack of traction was the purpose. :lol:

Forget traction, they would have thrown more dirt too!

Also, I should have added "See, rallycross doesn't hurt track cars"

:lol::lol::lol:

I heard they where in Willow Springs, letting Tom Cruise take the car for a spin. Red Bull and Coulthard that is.

In other news Bruno Senna will be taking Heidfelds seat? Is Lotus Renault giving him the axe?

Next two races Senna is in the car, Heidfeld has launched legal action against the team so its to be seen if Senna stays in the car for the rest of the year
